hmm... well... it is a little pink for my liking, but i do actually like it more than the last one, coz the last one was scary :(

Hehe. I know what you mean, i liked it cos it was creepy-ish... It fitted with the colours, and i tried to do more backgrounds with a goldish tinge, but it didn't seem to work. Somehow, i ended up with a pink one. I'll try changing the colour slightly if i can. Do you think i should change it?

i like the forum as it is now actually.

one suggestion that you may or may not like to take into concideration:

the news section at the top of every page gets a little annoying, especially for those of us who are two lazy to click down and scroll instead (you have to scroll through all the news first) possibly just having the news on the main pages, or only having the most recent news so that it doesnt scroll as much could be an advantage.

but as i said, its only minor, and its completely up to you

I know what ya mean btp, dun worry :) I made the the 'news' box only appear on the main page, and it was like that for awhile, but somehow when I went to remove the affiliates, it went back to the way it was before (which was appearing on every page). So I'll figure out how to fix it again somehow ;)
